Brownies.

So, a quick post for this second weekly night shift.

It's really simple...

In this new age of technology and automation, most things are produced by highly intelligent and programmable robots. This is all well and good, until they screw up.

On night shifts, there's not much I look forward to. One of the only things that perks up my night is the TV dinner I enjoy around 2am.

I tried a new kind of dinner today. The Swanson Pork Rib Dinner.

Now.. the ribs were fantacular. The potatoes... as good as TV dinner potatoes get. The corn and the brownie... well, this is the basis of my post.

I assume that a machine is responsible for rationing a dollop of rising brownie dough into the slot that is in between the potatoes and corn... the brownie slot.

In this case particularly, the machine missed it's mark... quite literally. I opened my Swansons packaging to find that the brownie dough had actually been poured on top of the corn. There's no way to fix this because You have to leave the corn wrapped while it cooks. I couldn't separate it. Two of the four compartments were ruined by the mechanized malfunction. Not cool Swanson's... Not cool.

On the plus side though... and I wouldn't have known this otherwise... I found out a new food I don't like. Chocolate covered corn. Thanks Swanson's.
